Great Blue Herons on Miller Family Bird Colony Island: 5-14-19



Adult Great Blue Heron





Three YOY (Young of the Year = this year’s young






Two more YOY on another nest







YOY not happy that one of its siblings is being fed by a parent on a nearby branch and he’s not getting any





YOY begging for a regurgitated meal by stabbing at its parent’s bill which will (he hopes) cause Mom/Dad to open up






 Finally Mom/Dad opens its mouth and the baby crams its bill and head down into the throat of the parent as the parent regurgitates a soupy, fishy meal into the baby’s mouth
